Scatterplot

A website called Radicalmath provides this scatterplot distribution to show the relationship between percentage of population and percentage of military recruitment. The direction and clustering of a scatterplot allows the reader to determine a relationship. A tight cluster shows strong relationship while a dispersed cluster indicates no relationship. A cluster pointing up to the right indicates a positive relationship while a cluster pointing down to the right indicates a negative relationship. This scatterplot shows a positive relationship between the percentage of population and the percent of military recruitment.
